What Determines the Amount of Usernotes You Have?

[Rantz]

We're really excited about user notes because it means that other people are paying attention to us.

If anything, that's what the individual user note does to me. The number means close to nothing to me, after all it's a number. To take that number as a measurement of popularity or attention is a bit one-dimensional, just look at Cid or BoB or, in fact, lots of veterans on the site who has a few hundred user notes if even that.

Remember that all us forum goers are here because we're socially starved in the real world. The smallest attention from anybody is a titillating thrill.

Generalising a bit aren't we?
